Argh! Throw myself on the floor, kick and scream, moan and groan! At least that’s what I feel like doing. Mostly I just feel blue. My BFF is broken. It’s basically the end of the world.

I was stitching along last night on this little project…

Almost had the top finished. It was quite late and I was tired, but thoroughly enjoying myself and having so much fun when all of a sudden the thingy that holds the needle came down on my knuckle. There was pain and some bleeding but nothing compared to what it did to my machine…it won’t sew!! It moves up and down but won’t make stitches. Cry, weep, sob.

It is going to the sewing machine hospital and I will miss it. I hope it comes home very soon because...

…I have till Saturday at 1:00 to have this finished, borders, quilting, binding and all in time for my daughter’s baby shower.

Oh no!! I am so sorry that you got hurt. I hope your knuckle feels better soon. But boy, your knuckle must be pretty tough to break your machine. I know your machine will be fine, but I hope you get your top done before the weekend!! Best wishes on all counts.

Ouch! Doesn't sound good for you or the machine. I have two nice sewing machines. That way there is one for a friend to use when they come over or when my main machine needs a service visit. Hope yours can be easily repaired.

I hope you and your BFF are all on the mend soon and back to normal routines. Love the two quilts you're working on - the baby quilt will be much appreciated I'm sure - so very bright and cheerful. - Marlene

Our bff are always under so much pressure when we work to deadlines. The same thing happened to mine last year less than a month out from my daughters wedding when i was making wedding outfits. I was lucky enogh to get mine back within two days

I am so sorry, so bad when the machine quits on us!!! I have a Bernina too so it'll be back soon, good as new I'm sure!! That quilt for your daughter's baby shower is gorgeous.....love the squares on point! Very Beautiful!
